Abstract. In this paper we propose a framework for modeling mobile information systems. Mobility introduces several challenges and issues that impact the development of mobile systems. As a result, we want applications running on mobile devices to exhibit certain traits; they should be aware of the mobility and be adaptive to the changes that occur due to it. Literature has identified several types of mobility -among them, physical and logical mobility. The former pertains to tangible mobile entities like cars, devices and people, while the latter encompasses mobile software entities. In addition to these, this paper includes the concept of vertical mobility -the movement of a network connection between overlapping networks -in a UML profile for modeling mobile information systems. We discuss our experiences from a case study described in [1] , where we modeled a simple mobile information system and transformed parts of the model into code.

“…We show that the standard form of UML Sequence Diagrams can be hardly used for modelling of mobile systems. We present therefore a new notation, the so called Sequence Diagrams for Mobility [12]. SDM models mobile, nested and dynamically changing structure by generalizing the concept of object lifeline of UML sequence diagrams.…”

“…In this paper we present two extensions of UML diagrams for modeling mobile systems. The first notation, the so called Sequence Diagrams for Mobility (SDM), add appropriate primitives for modelling of object topology and mobility and can be seen as a generalization of UML Sequence Diagrams [12]. The second one extends in a similar way UML Activity and Object Flow Diagrams [2].…”

Abstract. Global systems -systems which may operate over transient networks including mobile elements and in which computation itself may be mobile -are gaining in importance. Nevertheless, the means for their modelling are still underdeveloped. The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is well developed for convenient modelling of behavior, but is not yet so useful for modelling aspects of design relevant to global systems, such as mobility. Non-functional requirements such as performance and security also assume an increased importance in the context of global systems, and here too, UML requires enhancement. In this paper we present an extension to UML class, sequence and activity diagrams to model mobile systems. We also describe extensions to model performance and security characteristics. We will describe how, wherever possible, we reuse existing work in these areas.

“…For what concerns the former approaches, the proposal in [9] requires a nonstandard extension of UML sequence diagrams; on the other hand the proposal in [4] extends the UML class and activity diagrams allowing the representation of mobile objects and locations as well as basic primitives such as moving or cloning.…”

Abstract. The introduction of adaptation features in the design of applications that operate in a mobile computing environment has been suggested as a viable solution to cope with the high heterogeneity and variability of this environment. Mobile code paradigms can be used to this purpose, since they allow to dynamically modify the load of the hosting nodes and the internode traffic, to adapt to the resources available in the nodes and to the condition of the (often wireless) network link. In this paper we propose a UML profile to deal with all the relevant issues of a mobile system, concerning the mobility of both physical (e.g. computing nodes) and logical (e.g. software components) entities. The profile is defined as a lightweight customization of the UML 2.0 metamodel, so remaining fully compliant with it. In the definition of this profile, the underlying idea has been to model mobility (in both physical and logical sense) as a feature that can be "plugged" into a pre-existing architecture, to ease the modelling of both different physical mobility scenarios, and of different adaptation strategies based on code mobility. Besides defining the profile, we give some examples of use of its features.
